New & Re-Roofing Service

New Roof Installation Services In The Edinburgh Area

The Edinburgh skyline is truly unique, combining as it does, modern buildings, refurnished buildings, old buildings and of course, listed buildings. In addition, the roofscape of the City contributes to its look and feel and is an integral part of its character. In a City with a mix of old and new buildings, it’s essential your roofing contractor can work on all these different roof types. We do just that. With vast experience in the city and around the larger area, we have worked on every type of roof on the city’s skyline. We can work at a height with rope & harness, cherry pickers and / or scaffolding.

We provide roofing services to fit the ‘look & feel’ of Edinburgh’s roofscape. When it comes to re-roofing your property, we will not only be able to do the job with ease, but also guide you in the important decision on what type of roofing material to use on your roof. We have 30+ years’ experience in roofing with traditional natural slate tiles and lead in the older parts of Edinburgh and in roofing with modern clay and concrete tiles in Edinburgh’s newer suburban housing areas. Depending on requirements, we also work with modern roof tiles made to look like traditional slate tiles.
